Class of 1916

A General Electric sales conference in Schenectady-party for the visiting delegates-one from Cleveland, a friend even though from Yale—many boasts—a bet—a check to said friend from none other than . Jack Curtin-and you know that Jack is too old to be taken in by such tactics. Yet Jack tells me that that was the first time, and as it was the first time that I had caught him —I take his word. At the returns of the Yale-Harvard game I helped to do away with some of that Jack—so thanks.

Julian Richard Hovey was born in Tours, France, and educated in Washington, D. C. He was with us in Hanover in 1912-3. Upon leaving Hanover, Washington was his first outside work as a playground director, next in Nevada in the beet sugar making, and thence to Los Angeles. We find him here as an assistant di rector of moving pictures. Not moving his services from here, his next position was a foreman for the city. Then, and this is the first date that we have, in 1924 we find him in the magazine department of the Rosicrucian Fellowship, an international association of Christian mystics, located at Mt. Ecclesia, Oceanside, Calif. Recently we have heard from him to the effect that he lives in the same city, but who knows what he is doing now?

Did you know that within the folds of this class it is quite possible to prepare a very swell menu. Well, follow me through.

For your fruit cocktails go to the First National Stores of Somerville, Mass., and ask for Director General Rod Soule. Perhaps he can suggest additional things for the dinner that you may be able to get a discount on.

But if he is a little backward about the rest of the things, buy wholesale. Call up Elbridge & Baker and ask for their general manager. You can find the number in the Boston directory. You will be connected with a very genial old fellow, Peck Baker, providing Peck has not already put his son in there. It got so that Elbridge grew so fast that his father was unable to handle him at home. Who knows but he may have put him in as his boss at the store as well?

Now then you will want a nice roast, steak, or some other kind of meat and of course it should be Swift's, says Hank Blaney from Seattle, Wash. I'll bet that he, his wife, and daughter would dare to have nothing else in their house. Somebody really should drop in on them and check this up.

Of course for your butter, cream, eggs, and milk I can think of nothing better than pepping up that big tall non-promisekeeping Virg Rector. Send your orders to him direct at Omaha, whence he operates as sales manager of Fairmount Creamery Company (branches in all the important cities). Virg says that his daughter is a picture of health because she uses Fairmount products. Who can tell?

But in case some of your folks who live in Florida might be frightened that California might hear of your buying something not raised in your state, get in touch with the Foremost Dairy, Jacksonville, Fla„ and ask for your classmate, Charles Bettes, who is a partner in this outfit. If you need extra ice for the drinks he can supply you with that too.

So far so good, but what you want to do for bread is up to you. If it is good flour for muffins get in touch with Phil Nordell of New York City. He makes and sells (lots of it I hope) Muffin Makings, and it should be easy with this prepared muffin flour.

If that does not suit you, then make or buy bread that has Pillsbury Flour, manufactured in Richmond, Va., under the management of Fred Richie.

Now, if neither of these suit your tastes, there is A 1 Reeves in Washington, who owns a bakery and confectionery store. Kill two birds with one stone here, for who doesn't like candy after a heavy meal.

Of course you will not need much salt, and I am sure that Marty Linihan of Buffalo, N. Y., would be glad to donate the necessary amount as a gift of the International Salt Company. You know Marty has no wife to take a little bit home to every night.

Then, to top this meal off, a good glass of old beer—brewed in Minneapolis, Minn., under the correct supervision of A 1 Gluek.

And what goes better with beer than Kraft cheese? Leonia, N. J., probably does not have the publicity that other parts of New Jersey are receiving at this time, but I'll bet-that a call put in for Doc Greeley will reach him there as one of Kraft's salesmen. Doc, you will have to furnish the pepper for this meal too.

If you are certain that you have to have coffee, then go back to the beginning, and I am sure that you can find some in one of those stores. But in any case a good cigar will put every one in a good humor and I suggest Tony Garcia's Vegas. Try them if you do not believe me.

Any body eat too much? Abe Abraham's drug store in Burlington, Vt., has any number of remedies, and Abe is certain that he can give you instant relief.

At the Cleveland Club Christmas meeting, Bill McKenzie disregarded Goodyear and its products long enough to get up to it. After which the families joined for an early dinner. Bill is extremely busy selling and getting through the factory parts for the automotive trade. Who saw him at the Harvard game last fall?

Do not forget to return the questionnaire.
